I think if you cook outside it’s still considered “Camping”

I have a camper that I love. It has everything I require when camping, flush toilet, shower, air conditioning, microwave and tv. I wish I could simplify and get rid of so much but my superhubby thinks he will die if he doesn’t keep everything he ever owned.

Bossy hears you on the small thing. Bossy’s prerequisite when finding any home is, “Can I plug the Hoover in one outlet and reach the whole house?”

You’re setting a wonderful example. I love it and might just have to copy!!!

Ooooooo!!

I’m jealous, actually. I love tenting, but right now I am drooling over the T@B teardrop. Have you seen those yet?

And really, I’m learning that with little ones, a few amenities on the road do make things massively easier.

I’m having camper envy! Seriously, I love the idea of scaling back and having less space to clean and fewer things to worry about. I salute you for making it happen.

I’ve almost made a commitment to go backpacking, which I’m pretty sure involves a complete lack of internet and hair dryers. I’m sure Id be more comfortable doing it your way, which by the way involves a fair amount of jettisoning the incredible amount of STUFF most of us (myself included) seems to feel is necessary to cart around. Kudos.

Godd for you for stepping off the “my next house must be bigger” treadmill. I’m now off to collect my Hypocrisy Pulitzer.

Does your trailer have guest rooms?

Just trying to plan ahead and all that…

I like what I’m hearing in this post, btw. It sounds like you’re doing what you need to do to honor that gypsy spirit of yours.

Kisses,
